"Through the power of Christ, we are learning to live in simplicity, thankfulness, contentment and
generosity in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana."

Earth Day & The United Methodist Church

The world marks Earth Day each April 22. This video link features stunning images of Nature along with the beautiful words of a prayer written by Bishop Ken Carter when he was a pastor in North Carolina in 2005.  

All United Methodists are called to be good stewards of the planet. One of our Social Principles about the Natural World explains: “All creation is the Lord’s, and we are responsible for the ways in which we use and abuse it. Water, air, soil, minerals, energy resources, plants, animal life, and space are to be valued and conserved because they are God’s creation and not solely because they are useful to human beings.” 

You are encouraged to use this video for personal reflection and also download and share it with others. 

This video was produced by United Methodist Communications in Nashville, TN.  This video was first posted in April, 2015.
